MRA Race #2 @ PPIR May 19-20th!

[COS Mille]

I jacked this information from the Racing section of the forum (expect anything less from the Dirty South?). There are many racers from the Springs, Pueblo and beyond in the MRA. Come out and support the MRA and it's racers. Heck, get out and participate in the Super Street class. Two for one tickets are available at the shops in town to make the bargain spectator fee of $10 twice as sweet. Military ID, even better, get in FREE! Hope to see some of you there on Saturday.

I'll be spectating this one! Love the atmosphere.

(but I'll bring earplugs since the sound at PPIR is much more intense than at HPR).

[CaneZach]

Come cheer on the dirty south racers and watch Mille and I dice it up!

[Slo]

If you are riding superstreet and have a fire extinguisher, bring it to keep in your pit area.

For anyone that may need tools, drinks and such, come and see the SLO guy in garage #11. MRA #510

I got talked into working on my daughters bike....lowering kit and risers......


Excellent to see folks coming out to PPIR. It's good for the club, track, and of course racers love seeing spectators.

CaneZach: It's great being out there with you.....looking forward to race 2! Matt2778, you going to make it?

The Super Street class has been really popular, great seeing people participating!

Good luck fellas, I'll be doing a S.S day in about a month or so from now.

Do the next SS day at HPR, whenever that is, when I do it :doublefinger:

(Someone said the next round at HPR in june isn't doing SS because of the endurance race :(. So I might do the one after that)

[CaneZach]

Yeah, the 4-hour endurance race takes the place of the Superstreet race.

[madvlad]

Seems like July 28th is the next one at HPR so that means you'd be doing the one in August? I have to do my chain and sprockets and possibly a clutch before I can do any track days so given I don't make much $$$ that's why I have to stretch it out as much as possible so I can save up as much as I can to be able to attend.

[tecknojoe]

Yea I'll probly do the one in august. I just don't like how unsafe PPIR and Pueblo are.


Side track - When pueblo did work over the winter, did they move the wall in turn 10? I know there was talk about it, and I won't run there unless they do

[Bueller]

They will never move that wall. There has been talk about how to do something different with that turn for a long time, looks like they reconfigured it a bit and slowed it down.

[COS Mille]

True, no SS at HPR during the 4Hr. endurance race.

[Concabar]

Will be there to catch some of the races and then Pennywise at the Sheep - shall make for a great weekend

[COS Mille]

The best part of the week-end will be keeping it on two wheels so we all make the next race, then the concert! Looking forward to see everybody.

[Snowman]

I think some of us will be joining you at the Black Sheep. Looking forward to seeing you and Vita! :)Don't I owe you a shot glass? Drop by garage 11 if you come down Saturday,

Sunday might be hard to get organized for. No number, transponder, etc. I will definitely be on Prod 250 grid for Round 3!

[Slo]

Yeah I know that is pushing it a bit. If I hadn't of sold my other transponder you could have used it. You can pick a # on the license packet and There are a few that have fashioned #'s out of electrical tape :lol:
Good luck Sat. I'll stop by and say hey.

Woohoo! SoCo does Rock- I’m pumped and feel so fortunate as the planets have aligned and am able to participate in the lightweight endurance race Saturday! :multi:

Sure, thanks! I will be at the track around 9-10 AM on Sat. How do I find you? I will be with the SS group with a white/black Ninja 250 and silver Sentra.
